Create beautiful tables in Word documents that work consistently across Word and Google Docs.

⚠️ THE 5 CRITICAL RULES

After extensive testing, these are the essential patterns for tables that render correctly everywhere:

1. Dual-Width Sizing (MOST CRITICAL)

Every table needs widths set in TWO places — on the table itself AND on each individual cell:

// Table level
new Table({
  width: { size: 9360, type: WidthType.DXA },  // Total width
  columnWidths: [1872, 7488],                   // Per-column widths
  rows: [...]
})
